How Many Scars

Verse 1: How many scars do you have to bear, To show the world that you still care? When the pain cuts deep and the nights are long, But you still hold on, you still stay strong. Pre-Chorus: Oh, you gave it all for a love so true, Even when they don't see the pain in you. But you keep on loving, you keep on fightin', Even when the world keeps on hurtin'. Chorus: How many scars do you have to justify, To prove the depth of love in your eyes? You gave your heart, you gave your life, And still you stand with the one holding the knife. How many scars, how many tears, Will you endure through all the years? But the love in your heart will never die, Even with the scars you carry inside. Verse 2: They don’t understand, they don't see the cost, Of the love you gave, of what was lost. But through every wound, every bitter night, You keep on walking toward the light. Pre-Chorus: Oh, you gave it all, and they didn't know, The depth of love that you'd let them show. But you still hold on, still pray through the fight, For the love of your life and your Savior tonight. Chorus: How many scars do you have to justify, To prove the depth of love in your eyes? You gave your heart, you gave your life, And still you stand with the one holding the knife. How many scars, how many tears, Will you endure through all the years? But the love in your heart will never die, Even with the scars you carry inside. Bridge: It was His love that paid the price, He took the scars, He gave His life. And now you stand in His grace so pure, Every scar healed, your soul secure. Chorus: How many scars do you have to justify, To prove the depth of love in your eyes? You gave your heart, you gave your life, And still you stand with the one holding the knife. How many scars, how many tears, Will you endure through all the years? But the love in your heart will never die, Even with the scars you carry inside. Outro: How many scars, how many tears, The love is worth it, through all the years. Even with the scars, you’re not alone, In His love, you’ll find your home.
